title: An unusual case of refractory metabolic acidosis.
abstract: Homeopathy is one of the most frequently used systems of complementary and alternative medicine. The patients who seek homeopathic treatment are primarily those suffering from long-standing, chronic diseases. These medicines may have considerable risk of severe side effects. Some homeopathic medicinal preparations use alcohol as a base and are frequently prescribed for common conditions. We hereby report an unusual case of refractory metabolic acidosis after homeopathic medicinal treatment.
